WICD can't get IP using cable?

Hi,
When running the default "network" i can lease a dhcp address.

when following the wiki:
INTERFACES=(!eth0)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus !network !dhcdbd !networkmanager wicd ...)

I still cant get any ip using cable...wifi works...

error message in messages.log..
Oct 25 13:44:58 Archer dhcpcd[1592]: version 5.2.5 starting
Oct 25 13:44:58 Archer dhcpcd[1592]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
Oct 25 13:45:33 Archer kernel: sky2 0000:03:00.0: eth0: disabling interface

Oct 25 13:45:34 Archer kernel: sky2 0000:03:00.0: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control rx

thats it...

Try unplugging your cable modem and then plug it back in and wait for all the lights on the modem. This resets it.

Tried that one aswell but no luck.
Is there any other steps I could take?

Any other networkmanager cable/wifi to use with xfce4 besides wicd? the one used in gnome needs tons of dependencie packages right?

netcfg is all you should ever need.

eventho I love using bash/shells it seems kind of "I want to be a script kiddie"... I attend tons of conferences and I would like this kind of networkmanager to be GUI based.
